So has anyone ever been killed and then, before anyone is able to rez you, someone randomly uses a conset then rages at you for being dead? Then PMs you and tells you how you're horrible at life(but slurred)? Or... is it just me?

Player B is selling Weapon for 50k
If you ask why Player B won't sell to Player A, they make up some sort of excuse like "They won't come to my district and I can't get to theirs so I'll just sell it to you and you can make the profit, IDC." and then when you go to sell it to Player A, they've both disappeared?

I've been sort of paranoid about that for years. :S

Now i'm paranoid. Great.

I remembered another crazy, craaazy experience that I had to go through. Some ele dude was asking why a warrior dude left his party in presearing. The warrior kept using emotes to communicate with me (apparently he was playing the demo) and the ele was still whining and starting to say he was in love with the random warrior. The war added me to his party, we got everything sorted out and I ported us to another outpost. I told him how to set the ele on ignore so he could't harrass him in PM. I sent the ele a PM telling him he was being creepy and desperate and I never heard from him again. *sigh*

There's hundreds of times I've seen something stupid in GW, too many to think about right now late at night when I still have homework to do.

ME in trade: WTS Stack of ToTs [trick or treat bags] - 40k
HIM: 40k is really steep, I'll give you 30k

As he is whispering me I get 3 people send me messages to buy.

ME: Sorry, already sold for 40k. Good luck!
HIM: Well your buyer was a noob

You can even sell them at 50k , although it takes more than 2 minutes.

I remember a few years ago when I was selling an elemental sword. A guy pm'ed me and asked me if he could give me some cash and some other things (crappy things...) for that sword, and after I don't know how many "no thank you, I'll only accept gold" he told me that he NEEDED that sword to create his monk ...

Saw two people trying to raise the price of some item. Trying and failing, of course.

Player 1: WTS Droknar's sword 20k.
Player 2: WTB Droknar's sword 20k.
(this went on for 3 minutes, usually with their posts right next to each other's)

I finally PM'd player 2 and asked why he didn't buy from player 1. His response "I don't like him"

I don't know depending on what that person did I very well might not buy from them. Especially if I remember that guy as he tried to scam me in the past or something.
But really, if I really don't like someone do I want to support them and give them my money?

TBH I bought stacks of bags easily for 25K each. I should have tried 20K. I certainly would never pay 40K or more for a stack when they're so easy to acquire at the moment, so IMO I have to agree with the guy that your buyers were noob.

While not exactly bad, 55 monks are pretty mediocre.

The prices have dropped significantly since I posted that. At the time 40-45k a stack was the norm. I agree they are considerably less right now due to supply. I did sell my stack almost instantly with multiple offers when I posted the WTS.

Zaishen mission two days ago - Bloodstone Fen HM, and this is what happened:

*completed bonus and went on to complete the mission*
Him: We need to go back for more seeds
*He started to run back to the start*
Me: Wait, there are seed flowers right in that small passage
*That passage where you have 2 seed flowers to grow exactly 2 bridges to get to the bloodstone, he looks exactly the other way*
Him: I don't see it.
Me: Turn around.
Him: We need to go back.
Me: Look in front of you.
Him: I don't see any seeds (he literally, literally stood in front of 2 big flowers)
Me: You're supposed to click on them in order to pick one up.
Him: Oh ok, But do we have enough?

From that point on, all I could do was laugh at my screen :P

Let me clarify, sine you don't seem to get why i said that. What I meant to say is that since better is subjective, your opinion is just as stupid as the opinions of those you're putting down.
